AI verdict AVOID 40/100

AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2007 Ford has 24 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 42,651 miles. The extensive pattern of recurring faults, particularly in suspension and steering, points to a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 8,171 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant 19-year gap in MOT records is a major red flag.

Things to check

  • Extensive recurring advisories for suspension (22) and steering (4) across multiple tests.
  • Six major failures recorded across critical systems like lights, fuel, brakes, and emissions.
  • The 19-year MOT record gap (2010-2019) is highly unusual and a significant concern.
  • Offside Rear Outer Seat belt webbing slightly damaged or frayed (Sep 2018) — a persistent safety concern.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,171 miles/year since registration.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until September 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
  • The car has been consistently tested and maintained, despite its extensive advisory history.
